Chapter Twenty-Nine: Catching Rats (Part II)


The captain of the soldier walked not far and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he shouted for so long and didn't hear it, the sound of the door being kicked open was so loud, how could he still not hear it, and the woman lying on the bed never spoke, if ordinary people would have been afraid to scream out, but the woman always hid in the quilt and didn't move.

Thinking of this, the captain of the soldiers immediately beckoned his men to return to the house just now.

At Lichtnau's home, Lichtenau put on his clothes, looked at Lane's almost disfigured face, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr.

Lane, and I'm sorry for the trouble you've caused."

"It's okay, what should we do next," Ryan continued, waving his hand absently.

"I don't think the soldiers will come, you go and close the door" Before Lichtenau could finish speaking, he heard the sound of a group of people going up the stairs.

Lichtenau immediately retracted into the quilt, and Ryan reluctantly walked to the bedroom door and said loudly: "What's the matter?

Gentlemen" "I'm sorry, we haven't seen your wife yet, we have to recheck, please let your wife raise her head," the captain of the soldier said with a blank face "Oh God, you are inhumane and anti-legal, and I will sue you," Ryan shouted in panic "Sir, you can go and sue, but now we are going to check on your wife, if your lady doesn't look up again, I'll go up and lift the quilt, lady, please don't make it difficult for us," said the captain of the soldier to Ryan and walked to the bed, saying as he went.

When Lichtnau heard the words of the captain of the soldiers, her heart trembled terribly, and she made up her mind.

Before the captain of the soldiers could come to her, she lifted the quilt, and the captain of the soldiers was stunned for a moment, and in this moment, Lichtenau sprang out of the bed and slammed into the glass beside the bed, and the action was done in one go.

The captain of the soldiers was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, he immediately ordered his men to arrest Ryan, and ordered someone to notify the other soldiers patrolling the area to search for the suspect together, and at the same time he picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it quickly.

The nearby soldiers heard the whistle and quickly ran towards the area.

The captain of the soldiers looked out the window, there was only a pool of broken glass and a pool of blood, and the suspect was no longer in sight.

Locks was anxiously waiting for news in the city hall, and when he heard his men report that they had found something, he hurriedly ordered the captain of the soldier who had found the suspect to be called over.

"See Your Excellency the Duke," the captain of the soldiers said respectfully "How's it going?"

asked Locks eagerly "We've caught one suspect, and another one has escaped, presumably Lichtnau," replied the captain of the soldiers "I'll send you three more brigades, and you'll have to catch me tonight," Locks said to everyone present, and only those who were present should be.

Lichtenau watched the soldiers on the street corner assemble, and the light of the torches was glazed over.

She endured the pain and covered her wounds with dirt, and ran aimlessly, not knowing if she would survive, but if she was caught by the Prussians, she would definitely not survive.

Lichtenau saw a ditch not far away, and she immediately ran over and lay herself flat in the ditch, leaving only one head to float out.

Suddenly there was a dog barking in the distance, and she knew that the Prussians had dispatched military dogs, and she held her breath, but her heart beat faster and faster.

But as if there was a providence in the dark, she escaped the search of the military dogs, but did not escape a soldier's pee.

When Locks learns that Lichtenau has been spotted by a soldier subconsciously during a soldier's peeing, he laughs and cries.

"Lichtnau, do you feel repentance for your actions," Locks asked, sitting in the town hall, facing Lichtnau, who was being escorted by soldiers across from him "I don't think there's anything wrong with my actions, Frederick Wilhelm II was a coward, a coward, and his life in the world is the greatest disrespect to God," Lichtenau cried out stubbornly "Did you act on the orders of Austria, which did not aid your assassination," Locks asked, holding back the anger in his heart "Nope.

All this is because I think your crown prince is too disgusting to take it anymore and kill him," Lichtenau replied with his head raised and did not care "Damn, I'm going to make you speak, and you and your accomplices will go to hell," Locks then ordered his subordinates to take Lichtenau and Ryan into custody, and he was to immediately go to Sanssouci Palace to report the arrest to His Majesty.

Frederick had been sitting quietly in his study waiting for news from the time Locks had come to ask for instructions on the blockade of Potsdam, and when the attendant reported Locks' visit, Frederick suddenly stood up and said to the attendant: "Let him in," the squire went out and invited Locks in.

Before Locks could finish his salute, Frederick hurriedly interrupted him and asked: "Did the man catch it?"

"Two suspects have been caught, Your Majesty," Locks replied "Great, did you get anything out of their mouths," Frederick asked Locks with a glare "Their mouths are hard, but I'll make them confess tomorrow, Your Majesty."

"Very well, Locks, you didn't disappoint me," Frederick nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, do we have anything to do with the Austrians in this matter?"

asked Locks "No, those suspects are what they say, now is not a good time," Frederick shook his head and asked: "Catch a few people who are eye-to-eye with the Austrians this time."

"There are three counts, eight barons and four great merchants who have traded with the Austrians, may I ask your majesty what to do with these people" "If the evidence is conclusive, the execution for treason, Locks will increase the surveillance of these nobles in the future, you know" "Got it, Your Majesty" "Very well, you stand down, I'll have to rest a little longer," Frederick said and let Locks down.

The next day, Lichtenau and Ryan were escorted before Frederick of Sanssouci Palace, who asked: "Are you guilty?"

"We are not guilty, we are eradicating harm for the people" Lichtenau is still stubborn "Very well, come on, they dragged them to the tomb of the crown prince and buried them alive," Frederick ordered, exasperated by Lichtnau's attitude Lichtenau and the dejected Lane were dragged down by the soldiers, but Lichtenau laughed as if he were not afraid of Frederick's orders.

The roaring laughter was like a ghost crying wolf, and the heart of the laughing person shuddered.

Frederick was furious when he heard Lichtnau's laughter, and said: "Before burying me alive, pull out the woman's tongue for me," he said, brushing his sleeves away.
